Vincenzo Nibali will be at the Giro d’Italia, record recovery after a broken wrist – Corriere.it

by time news

Great news for the Giro, a record recovery for the driver from Messina considering that after a compound fracture of the radio the average return time to competitions is around six weeks. That Nibali (who has already won the Giro twice in 2013 and 2016) really wanted not to miss his tenth participation was understood a few hours after the accident.


Lightning operation in Lugano (osteosynthesis), immediate trip to Forl by the physiotherapist of the champions Fabrizio Borra to have a special carbon prosthesis built with which to pedal immediately on the road instead of on the rollers without risking to compromise the healing. And then transfer to Livigno where Vincenzo is still with his family to complete the preparation, after having skipped the Tour of the Alps e la Liegi which were the last races of his pre-Giro program.

Nibali will arrive in Turin with 22 days and 3450 kilometers of competition in the legs, about a thousand fewer than he had ground in 2019. The physical conditions will all be verified, but the most prestigious Italian rider will be in the match.
